Shopgate Reviews

Marc (CEO) is just about the worst person to be leading a company. He does not care about his staff, is incredibly cheap, and loves the fact that he can fire people like he always wanted to in Germany but couldn’t. It’s funny, I’ve spoken to several execs in Austin that have met/worked with him and almost every one of them said something negative about their experience with him. Also, who buys from mobile apps if it’s not Amazon? Really think about it for a second. Most customers are not successful on our platform. It’s a nice to have. We’re losing clients like crazy and reviews about us are terrible. Stay away, most companies in Austin that know Shopgate know that it’s a bad joke. Side note: the company routinely asks employees to post good reviews of the work environment on Glassdoor, Built In Austin, Best Places to Work, and so forth and then spiffs people for doing so. I would know, I’ve posted a “good” review on here because I was asked to. Be careful what you trust.

The Downtown Austin office is nothing more than a frat house that does not have a good work/life balance conducive to meeting business goals. There is a huge lack of training and communication that leads to bringing in false sales that never get onboarded. The company is full of a bunch of young, unprofessional individuals who would rather take advantage of all the perks of the job and not actually work, when they actually do show up for work. But of course that doesn't matter because there is no HR to assist with issues happening around the office. Also notice how for ever 1 negative company review on Glassdoor, there are 5 more positive reviews to follow... management has staff write multiple reviews using different personas to drown out any negativity.
